Birds jumped from their nests to escape the Northwest's June heat wave columbian.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from columbian.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The Northwest’s run of record temperatures is the result of a heat dome blanketing the region – a bubble of high pressure that pushed highs into triple digits for days. While heat extremes are possible, human-caused climate change increases the likelihood and severity of such events.
Muul hopes the grisly scene will be a reminder that climate impacts are already arriving, with significant consequences for people and wildlife alike.
“In the short term, this was not preventable,” said Muul. “But I think in the long term, there s definitely things that we can start doing now to start preventing this kind of thing. You know, it s not really a one-off because these things are starting to happen more and more frequently. The weather s changing, it s getting hotter.”

Thanks for the update. So, will the eagle eventually be released back here in West Seattle so she can be reunited with her mate?

That is why I needed to ID her, to prove she was a mated pairs from here.If she survives it will be a little while yet. She still needs time in the flight cage, and rehabilitation.

Will her mate wait for her? How long before they figure something has happened and might start looking for another?
